  10. CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENTS Tramming Installation of tramming loops at L8 Shaft loading hoppers allowing continuous one way traffic • Underground fleet increased to 98 battery locomotives and 290 mine cars which will be increased to 400 over • medium term to allow empty return cars to be left at work places Non-stick lining to mine cars being trialed to reduce carry-back and speed up dumping at ore bins • Ventilation Second 85kW axial fan being installed parallel to existing 85kW axial fan • New ventilation district Levels 6-10 established with vent raises 60% complete. New 225kw centrifugal fan ordered • which will be operational December quarter 2015 Stope Protocols Stope Inventory and Grades Drawn New payment system based on breakage adopted • Stope grades increased 50% thus far • 70,000 10 Dewatering Inventory Tonnes Stope Grades 60,000 8 50,000 6 Dirty water (up to 20% solids) pumping system being • 40,000 4 installed 30,000 2 20,000 0 Internal Shafts Mar-15 Jul-15 Jan-15 Feb-15 Apr-15 May-15 Jun-15 Aug-15 Internal shafts being developed on ore to access Levels 9 • and 10 with minimal waste development Advanced Mine Planning Software STOPE INVENTORY STOPE GRADES All mine planning undertaken in 3D wire-framing • 10 10

  11. SERVICE SHAFT BENEFITS  All personnel will access Levels 3 to 8 via Service Shaft. Levels 1 & 2 will continue to use portals (currently personnel use ladderways from surface excepting Levels 7 and 8 that use L8 Shaft.)  All materials for Levels 3 to 8 will use Service Shaft (currently materials lowered via L8 Shaft or internal shafts)  The elimination of personnel and materials from L8 Shaft and internal shafts will leave these to exclusively hoist ore.  Continuous and easy access to all levels for Supervision and Maintenance personnel will result in greater efficiencies and operating cost reduction. 11 11

FISCAL YEAR 2015-16 GUIDANCE Description Unit 2015-2016 Production guidance ounces 120,000 to 130,000 AISC (1) US$ /ounce US$900 to US$1,000 Capital expenditure (sustaining) US$ US$10M (includes resource drilling) Capital expenditure US$ US$15M Exploration expenditure US$ US$4M Note (1): included in AISC is capital expenditure for Service Shaft approximately US$80 per ounce  Note (1): included in AISC is capital expenditure for Service Shaft of approUS$80  AISC will be elevated in medium term whilst key infrastructure projects are underway but will reduce once completed and cost efficiencies are achieved.  Improved grade (from stope protocols) and tonnage (after Service Shaft operating) will contribute to AISC reduction. 15 15

  19. APPENDIX 1. MINERAL RESOURCE AND RESERVE QUALIFICATIONS (Refer to ASX announcement dated 25 September 2014) Notest es: 1. Resources are inclusive of Reserves. 2. Co-O mineral resources and ore reserves estimated under guideline of JORC Code 2012 3. Bananghilig and Saugon Mineral Resources were previously prepared and first disclosed under the JORC Code 2004, and have not been updated to comply with JORC Code 2012 on the basis that the information has not materially changed since it was last reported (08 August 2013). 4. Rounding to the nearest 1,000 may result in some slight discrepancies in totals. Mineral Resources: Co-O: - a minimum lower cut-off of 3.2 gram*metres/tonne, accumulation, which incorporates a minimum mining width above cut-off grade; - various upper cut-off gold grades up to 300 g/t gold) have been applied to different veins; and - a gold price of US$1,500 has been applied Bananghilig: - a lower cut-off of 0.8 g/t gold was applied, and various upper cuts Saugon: - a lower cut-off of 2.0 g/t gold has benn applied Ore Reserves: Ore Reserves are a subset of Indicated Mineral Resources Co-O: - minimum mining widths of 1.25 metres (stopes ≥ 50 ° ) and 1.5 metres (stopes <50 ° ) have been applied, and where the vein width was equal to the minimum mining width, and extra 0.25 metres dilution was added to the hanging wall. - a further 10% dilution have been allowed for slabbing in mining of low angle stopes under draw, - shape dilution of 5% of extra tonnage at 2 g/t gold, for extra development and to reflect pinch and swell of veins and faulting, - 85% mining recovery for stopes < 10 g/t gold, - 90% mining recovery for stopes ≥ 10 g/t gold, - 25% recovery factor for sill pillars in empty stopes are included in reserve, at a grade of 7g/t, to reflect current selective mining practice, - 30% recovery factor has been applied to remnant ore blocks, at their respective stope grades, - Stopes containing <500 tonnes were removed to account for one loss, - a cut-off grade of 2.0 g/t gold has been applied for development ore - a cut-off grade of 3.8 g/t gold has been applied to developed stopes - a cut-off grade of 4.5 g/t gold has been applied to un-developed stopes - a gold price of US$1,150 has been applied 19 19
